About This Item
The three works on this recording were composed at the height of David Diamond's popularity. 'Rounds' is his most enduringly popular piece, whose simple economy of means prompted Aaron Copland to exclaim, InchOh, I wish I had written that piece.Inch The concert suite 'Romeo and Juliet' explores the Inchinnate beauty and pathosInch of Shakespeare's play. Taking it's cue from the work of nineteenth-century Romantic composers, 'Symphony No. 6' is cyclical, the second and third movements deriving from material found in the first.
